Fast-food Chains Must Post Shocking Calorie Counts On Menus

A new federal deadline will force all chain restaurants in the U.S. to display calorie counts by May 5, 2017. Reuters reports that this rule applies to all chains with 20 or more locations, so not only will fan favorites like Burger King and Taco Bell but boutique chains like Shake Shack and In-N-Out as well. If you don't think this is a huge deal, ask anyone who lives in New York City and has been facing the shame of their fatty burger cravings every day since 2008. (It's not pretty.)

According to Brand Eating, there's also a strawberry shortcake donut to round out the theme, which includes a yeast donut stuffed with strawberry shortcake filling and finished with a strawberry jelly and whipped cream topping.

A Salmonella Outbreak From April Was Kept Secret Until Now

Kale was the culprit of a salmonella outbreak in Minnesota earlier this year that was kept hush hush by both the brand, Taylor Farms, and the federal government. According to Food Safety News, six people in Minnesota and one in Virginia have been confirmed with cases of salmonella that have the same DNA fingerprint linked to Taylor Farms Organic Kale Medley. The Centers for Disease Control did not post information on this multi-state outbreak, nor did it notify the public in any other way. This is a potentially scary precedent to set.

"In early May, Minnesota health officials notified CDC about an investigation into Salmonella infections in their state. CDC is monitoring PulseNet for any additional illness with the same DNA pattern nationally," CDC officials told Food Safety News. "It has been several weeks since the last illness occurred. If additional cases of illness are identified, the CDC will work with states to obtain information about foods consumed before becoming ill."
